Google has sparked controversy by using YouTube content to train its AI models. This includes their advanced systems like Gemini and the newly introduced Veo 3, which focuses on video and audio generation. Many creators are concerned about this practice as it occurs without their explicit consent.
By tapping into the vast library of YouTube, Google enhances its AI capabilities. However, this raises ethical questions about intellectual property rights and the rights of content creators. As AI technologies evolve, the need for clear guidelines on consent and usage of creators’ work becomes increasingly vital.
